"Such a good experience at Cienega Med Spa with all the treatments and I'd highly recommend them. Especially if you are on the fence, or a first timer with their treatments. For each, my technicians have been thoughtful, informative and have talked me through ALL the questions. I've never felt pressured, not salesy as I've experienced with other places too!"

What your monthly price buys

Medical screening first

A provider reviews your health history and bloodwork before anything is prescribed.

A nurse at every clinic visit

At each clinic visit, a nurse gives your injection and checks how you are doing.

Weight checks and dose adjustments

Your dose starts low and steps up gradually, adjusted to your response and how you tolerate it.

Support between visits

Diet and nutrition guidance, and a team you can call with questions, so you are never on your own.

In the clinic or at home?

Same plan, same monthly price. The only difference is where the injection happens.

Most patients

In the clinic

Come in weekly. A nurse gives every injection and checks your weight at each visit. Nothing to store or inject yourself.

  • Weekly nurse visits
  • Every injection given by a nurse
  • Weight check at each visit
  • Nothing to keep at home

At home

Prefer to self-inject? Your provider decides when you are ready. You get your injection in the clinic, take the rest of the month's doses home in a take-home kit, and come back monthly.

  • One clinic visit a month
  • Take-home kit with the rest of your doses
  • Monthly check-in, weight check and next supply
  • Same monthly price, switch anytime

Your provider confirms your dose, your exact price and which option fits you at your first visit. Nothing due today.

Semaglutide questions

Am I a candidate for semaglutide?

Most healthy adults looking to lose weight are good candidates, but not everyone qualifies, and that's exactly what your first visit is for. A licensed provider reviews your health history and recent lab work (or orders a quick blood draw at your visit) to confirm semaglutide is safe and the right fit for you before any medication is prescribed. Your whole program is physician-supervised from there. If semaglutide isn't right for you, we'll talk through your other options.

Is semaglutide the same as Ozempic® or Wegovy®?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic® and Wegovy®, both GLP-1 medications. The semaglutide we prescribe is compounded by a licensed pharmacy, is not FDA-approved, and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. Your provider reviews whether it's appropriate for you at your first visit. Ozempic® and Wegovy® are registered trademarks of their manufacturers; Cienega is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
Do you offer Ozempic® or Wegovy® in Los Angeles?
We don't dispense the brand-name products Ozempic® or Wegovy®. Our Los Angeles clinics offer physician-supervised compounded semaglutide (the same GLP-1 active ingredient), prescribed and monitored by our medical team in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Calabasas. Your first visit is free, so we can confirm it's the right fit before you commit.
What is the semaglutide dosing schedule?
Semaglutide is injected once weekly. We start at 0.25mg and gradually increase over several weeks to the maintenance dose your provider sets. This gradual approach significantly reduces side effects compared to starting at full dose.
What are the side effects of semaglutide?
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, constipation and diarrhea, which typically improve as your body adjusts. Our gradual dosing protocol and medical supervision help minimize discomfort.
Who should not take semaglutide?
Semaglutide is not recommended for patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). A blood test is required before starting to ensure safety.

Tirzepatide questions

Is tirzepatide the same as Mounjaro® or Zepbound®?
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro® and Zepbound®, a GLP-1/GIP medication. The tirzepatide we prescribe is compounded by a licensed pharmacy, is not FDA-approved, and is not the same as those branded products. Your provider reviews whether it's appropriate for your weight-management goals at your first visit. Mounjaro® and Zepbound® are registered trademarks of their manufacturers; Cienega is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
Do you offer Mounjaro® or Zepbound® in Los Angeles?
We don't dispense the brand-name products Mounjaro® or Zepbound®. Our Los Angeles clinics offer physician-supervised compounded tirzepatide (the same GLP-1/GIP active ingredient) for medical weight management at our three locations in Los Angeles. Your provider determines the right plan for you, care is month-to-month, and your first visit is free.
What is the tirzepatide dosing schedule?
Tirzepatide is injected once weekly. We start at a low dose (2.5mg) and gradually increase every 4 weeks based on your response and tolerance. The maximum dose is 15mg weekly. This gradual approach minimizes side effects.
What are the side effects of tirzepatide?
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and decreased appetite, especially when starting or increasing doses. These typically improve within a few weeks. Our gradual dosing protocol and medical supervision help minimize discomfort.

Common questions

Do I need to be overweight to qualify?
No. We treat medical weight management as a spectrum: some patients want to lose a significant amount, others want to drop the last stubborn few pounds, and others want to maintain results or refine body composition. Whether a prescription medication is appropriate is a medical decision your provider makes based on your health history and goals at your first visit. Not everyone is a candidate for medication.
How fast can I start?

If you have bloodwork from roughly the last 6 months, you are only limited by how fast you can book and upload it, and both take just minutes online. Your labs go straight to our medical team for review, at no charge, and the review happens before your first visit. Once you are cleared, your first injection happens right at that visit. No recent labs? We book you a quick blood draw first, and results typically come back within a few days.

Who will I see at my visits?

Your first visit is with a provider from our medical team, who reviews your health history and bloodwork before anything is prescribed. After that, a nurse gives your injection and checks your weight at each weekly visit, and your provider adjusts your dose as you go.

Where can I get medical weight loss in Los Angeles?

You can start a medically supervised weight loss program at Cienega Medical, with three Los Angeles-area clinics in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Calabasas. Our medical team evaluates your health and prescribes GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide when appropriate, so you do not need a separate referral. Call 323-655-8220 to find the location closest to you and schedule a consultation.

Semaglutide or tirzepatide: which is right for me?
That's exactly what the first visit is for. Most patients start with semaglutide because it's the most accessible way to begin and works for a wide range of goals. Your provider may suggest tirzepatide based on your goals, response, and history. There's no wrong starting point, and we can adjust your plan over time as we see how your body responds.
Do you offer retatrutide?

Not yet. Retatrutide is still in clinical trials and is not FDA-approved. Our retatrutide page covers where it stands.
